    Thank you very much for sharing your tips and tricks, it makes such a difference to gain your wisdom and experience... much appreciated! I would ask that you make a easy to follow "How to hook in" video... for both Forward and reverse. Sort of a follow on to this video. I seem to be so Dyslexic when it comes to hooking in to my harness. Any tips you can share will be greatly appreciated :)

    I like this... pressure, pressure... on the ground... hands up, kill the motor, pick a side... I've got launching down, but I have had some incidents with wing control after landing (leading to lines in my prop, more than once)... I think I have been leaving my hands down after the flare (i.e. in full brakes). I think this is perhaps what I need to drill in... "hands back up, kill the motor, pick a side (to pull full brake - leave other hand up)... thanks (PS I learned via an instructor, but foot launch. I transitioned to trike but haven't had much trike instruction.)

  • @huntermay8322
    @huntermay8322 Před 2 lety

    best part was the sharks. but for all this why only fly on one part of the beach most of the video? and a PPG question, how much would it cost for the whole kit and average price to get "certified" by a legitimate instructor?

    • @fourwindsppg2628
      @fourwindsppg2628 Před 2 lety

      That was multiple beaches. And you have to fly where you have an on shore breeze, if it’s blowing the wrong way, you will end up pushed out to sea. Training costs vary. PPG technically doesn’t have “certification”. Research training facilities and go with an instructor that has been flying for more than five minutes and is just in it because it’s the cool thing to do.

  • @joesusevich339
    @joesusevich339 Před 4 lety

    Please make a slow motion video showing from pilot's perspective (not someone else recording you), on how to hook in for a reverse inflation. I have studied the PPG Bible on this and looked at pics but am thrown off I think mostly at pic #6. These pics were taken by someone standing next to the pilot. I am not yet a pilot, but I did buy a wing and kiting harness to get started. Maybe you could do one video for kiting using one hand per A, and another for motoring using both A's in one hand. This is so confusing to me, I have looked all over CZcams for a good video on this and can not find one. I have tried slowing one or two down of a pilot doing a reverse, but just not helpful. I have already made up my mind that I would like to buy a PAP Tinox and come to your school as soon as I have enough saved. Keep up the great videos, Thank You

    • @fourwindsppg2628

  • @David_Wolfe
    @David_Wolfe Před 4 lety

    This is why CZcams is great. After 200 flights I would think I would know just the way I want to lay out my glider. Then I watch Lorran and pick up a couple good pointers that I’ll change my ways. Thanks buddy for putting this together and thanks to that camera girl of yours too.

  • @MikeKing
    @MikeKing Před 4 lety

    sometime my lines get compression knots after laying them in the wing bag once packed, would be good to see how & where you lay your loops and risers when packing up the wing, so everything comes out clean. I try to just put my loops loosely over the trailing side, then collect the leading edge and flip it overtop and close up the bag. usually works, but sometimes pulls out some loose compression knots.

  • @10661956
    @10661956 Před 4 lety

    Lorran, great video....great information! This is how you taught me to lay out my nil/low wind wing. It makes my launch so much better. I also pack my wing like you showed me....it works so good too. czcams.com/video/omh0JfFor04/video.html I look forward to visiting again this winter. Thanks!! Bill
